the i pivoted? wentildtomsashe andw g5 55 is :o-n ithe outer :sider offithe windo W sashare by entering the opposite sliding way 1?, The window screen is held firmly in the centered position by the hinges as hereafter described. The sliding ways 17 are firmly attached to the window sash preferably by means of striking out lugs 19 which have the holes 1 therein as shown in the detail in Fig. so.

that an attaching screw 21 can be inseried through said hole into the frame 10, thereby rigidly attaching said ways on said frame. This attachment can be made before the insertion of the screen 16 into the ways 17. I

In order to close the space 22 between the lower edge of the sliding screen 16 and the ventilator sash 11, a closure strip 23 is hinged to said ventilator sash preferably to the cross rail 24 of said sash 11 by means of the hinge strap pieces 25 at spaced intervals along therail 24 for the lower edge of said closure strip 23. The upper edge is similarly hinged at spaced intervals by hinges 26 to the under side of the edge of the slid ng screen frame 16. It is now apparent that the screen 16 will be automatically moved upward and downward by the swingingof the ventilator sash 11, the closure strip moving back-- ward and forward from the vertical'to the inclined posltion as shown in the drawings, yet constantly keeping said space 22 closed.

In mounting the sliding screen 16, in the window sash, on high buildings, it is apparent that the screen 16 must be mounted from the inner side of the sash 10; As

hereinbefore stated, the sliding ways 17 may be attached from the inner sideof the window sash 10, and there is sufiicient leeway in said sliding ways 17 forthe screen 16 so that it can be inserted into the sliding way 17 at one side, and may be drawn into the opposite sliding way. To conveniently accomplish this, a handle 27 is provided which is insertable in the holes 28 in the tubular screen side to thereby draw the screen 16 into said opposite sliding way 17 and adjust the screen to the central position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in its relation to the sliding ways 17. The hinged closure strip 23 is attached to the screen frame 16 before inserting said screen in the sliding ways 17, and the hinged strap pieces are attached to the cross rail 24L of the ventilator sash 11 after said screen 16 is inserted in the 12 attached one to the window sash 10 and the other tov the'ventilator sash 11 at each side of said sash and extending inward as shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6, thereby supporting the ventilator sash 11 so that it is quickly and easily controlled.

In certain forms of pivoted ventilator sash, it is desirable to slidably mount both the upper and lower window screens so that both of said screens will automatically move upward and downward with the pivotal swinging of the ventilator sash. In order to accomplish this purpose, across rail or bar 31, preferably channel-shaped, is provided on thepivoted ventilator sash 11 at a proper distance from the ventilator sash pivot 38, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, to

which a crosswise closure strip 32 is hingingly connected on its upper edge, the lower edge being hinged to the screen 33 which is slidably mounted inways 34; on the inner side of the window sash 10 in substantially the same manner that the screen 16 is mounted and hingingly controlled on the outer side of the window sash '10, except that the screen 33 hangs on the hinging closure strip 32. The ends of the channel rail 31 are at tached to the sides of the ventilator sash 11, as shown at 35 in Fig. 10, at a proper distance from the ventilator pivot 38. The rail 31extends down to the glass 30 in said sash to thereby close the opening between the cross rail 31 and the glass 30, and at the same time brace said cross rail and strengthen the same If'the cross bar 24 is not present or not located properly, a cross bar similar to 31' and similarly used to operate the outer screen 16 may be used.

The crosswise closure strips 23 and 32 are preferably provided with tubular edges ancient-out portions to receive therein the tubular attaching strap pieces 25-26 and 3637 on their upper and lower edges to receive therethrough the hinge pins 29 for attachment-to the sash cross rails and the screen frame. The uniform width of the sliding ways 17 and 34- is permitted by the double hinged strips 23 and 32 so that while the'cross rails 24 and 31 swing backward and forward in opening and closing the ventilator sash 11, such radial movement is cared for by said hinge strips 23 and 32.

lVh'at is claimed as new is:

1. In a window of the class described, the

combination ofa' window sash, a ventilator sash pivotally mounted in said window sash, a lower screen attached to the innerside of said window sash, vertical uniform ways on said window sash, a screen slidably mounted in said ways, and a filling strip hinged to the bottom rail of said slidably mounted screen and to a cross rail of said ventilator sash to raise and lower said screen with the pivotal swinging of said ventilator sash and toclose the space therebetween.

2. In a window of the class described, the combination of a window sash, a ventilator sash pivotally mounted in said windowsash,

parallel vertical ways on the outer side of said Window sash, a screen slidably mounted in said ways, said ways Wider apart than the width of said screen to insert said screen from the inner side of said window sash, a filling strip hinged to the lower edge of said screen and to the central portion of said ventilator sash to center said screen in said ways to raise and lower said screen and to close the space between said screen and ventilator sash in all positions.

3. In a window of the class described, the combination of a window sash, a ventilator sash pivotally mounted in said window sash, parallel vertical channel ways onthe outer side of said Window sash above said pivotally mounted sash and similar parallel vertical channel ways on the inner side of said window sash below said ventilator sash, window screens slidably mounted in said Ways cross rail mounted on said ventilator sash a spaced distance above said first cross rail, and a. second filling strip pivotally hinged to the upper cross rail of said screen and to said upper cross rail mounted on said ventilator sash said strips acting to raise and lower said screens with the pivotal swinging of said ventilator sash and to close the spaces therebetween.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
